### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Excellent product
  

*by A***O on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 August 2022*

A really effective camera that was easy for me to set up in our garden. I like the fact that it’s wireless and can also that it be unscrewed easily from the bracket, so sometimes we move it to another place temporarily.Wish it didn’t pick up every leaf moving in the wind, but I guess it’s just being cautious!Also to note that I dropped it on the gravel while unscrewing to recharge the battery and there was no sign of damage at all.

    Good product. Good price.
  

*by S***6 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 April 2021*

Good price for a camera with a built in light!Battery usage depends on the amount of daily triggers. Can sometimes get about 3 months out of it before charging- based on around 15 to 20 triggers a day.The light is surprisingly powerful.(But does drain battery quicker).I would like to see a future Arlo with a built in solar roof slope design. (I appreciate these things take about 4 years to design, develop and get to market).Good tip.Turn light off (can do this in Arlo settings on the app), and buy a cheap £20 solar light and put that next to it. Will reduce the amount of times you need to charge.

### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Absolutely rubbish
  

*by M***G on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2024*

Battery life is absolutely rubbish.  I don't live in a particularly busy area, but it would completely drain of battery within 3-4 of usage with all settings set to the lowest possible.  At one point I decided to just shut it down through the app, but it would still drain itself of all battery (from 100%) within 2 weeks!!!  And now it would not charge at all despite plugging it in all night.  It's good for nothing except as a "dummy" camera at this point.Extremely disappointed!
